Define PROPER NOUN and COMMON NOUN
Hi Preetham ,
1. Proper noun :- Proper noun is the special name of a particular person or place . For instance , Smith is a Proper Noun , for it is the name of one particular boy . In the same way Madras is a Proper Noun , because it is the name of a particular city.
NOTE :- A Proper Noun always begins with a Capital Letter.
2 . Common Noun :- The name boy can be given to any and every boy - to Aftab , Harry , Raman , John , etc. It does not point out any particular boy . It is a name common to all boys . It is , therefore , called a Common Noun . In the same way , the name city is called a Common Noun , because it does not point out any particular city , such as Delhi , Madras , Patna , but is used for any and every city in any part of the world .
A Noun which does not point out any particular person , place or thing , but is common to all persons , places or things of the same class or kind is called a Common Noun.
Hope you understood it !
